Overview
The SDM-IO16 expands the digital input and output channel count of Campbell Scientific data loggers.
Key Advantages
Technical Description
The SDM-IO16 expands the digital input and/or output capability of Campbell Scientific data loggers. When a port is configured as an input, each port can monitor logic state, count pulses, measure signal frequency, and determine duty cycle. An option in the pulse counting mode enables switch debounce filtering, allowing the SDM-IO16 to accurately count switch closures. The SDM-IO16 can also be programmed to send an interrupt signal to the data logger when one or more input signals change state.
When configured as an output, each port can be set to 0 or 5 V by the data logger. A boost circuit allows an output that is set HI to source a current of up to 100 mA (at a reduced output voltage) for controlling external devices such as low voltage valves or relays.
Up to 15 SDM-IO16 modules can be addressed allowing up to 240 ports to be controlled by the data logger.
Data Logger Connection
The SDM Jumper Wire Kit (pn 32505) connects up to four SDMs to the data logger. This kit is recommended when multiple SDMs are connected to one data logger or for extremely short distances between the SDM and data logger. The CABLE5CBL-L cable is recommended for connecting a single SDM to the data logger, and for longer distances between the SDM and data logger.
